Nice Feathers

kumacrafts:

Here is the latest item we have had in the works for quite awhile. An opening star locket! The locket opens to reveal a sparkly light pink iridescent swarovski crystal. The outer rim is also lined with swarovski crystals.

We recently purchased a Makerbot (a 3d printer), and after many frustrating weeks, numerous prototypes and lots of trial and error, we figured out how to use it. We really wanted to make something the more accurately represented the original and there as no way we could do that with just layered acrylic.

The locket is about 2” in diameter. We plan to sell it for around $40 because of the time it takes us to make these. We do not have a set date for when they will be on sale, so please do not ask, join our newsletter instead ^^ It will take us awhile to build up inventory, so I estimate that they will be in our ship within a few weeks.

Since people are going to ask I will also mention that we do not want to do pre-orders for these. 3d printing is a very time consuming, complicated process. We already experienced some problems with our machine malfunctioning and as a result encountered some downtime while troubleshooting and had to wait for replacement parts. So I feel accepting pre-orders is just begging for trouble.

I feel a little silly for having to say this, but it does not play music. We are not a toy/electronics manufacturer. Just adventurous DIY-ers.

This is all I’m going to say for now, please do not spam us with questions about this item. All your questions will be answered at a later date.

So that’s it! I hope you like it. We tried really hard to make a somewhat functional and accurate replica. ♥
